You’re waiting until spring to buy a touring bike? Pansy.

Going into stock as we speak (in the US of A) are Blue Velvet (also known as Hill Street Blue and also just Blue) Long Haul Trucker complete bikes. We don't have many for this first go-round, but maybe it's just enough for you... and for the sit-tay.

The new 26" wheel version of the larger sizes are part of this deal. Not all sizes will be arriving (woe be on you 60cm riders), but most will. They are cool. Trust me, I have one. Does it look a little goofy? Goofy like a fox!

Call your local bike shop and make them order you one.

I dare you.

Here's a picture of the Nuge.

Panic! Don’t panic. Panic!!!

Panic! It crept up my spine like the first rising vibes of a Pugsley frenzy....

We've received a shipment of Large Marge offset rims in both DH and XC versions. They're new, improved, choice. These parts now feature a welded seam, which is approxomately 40g lighter, and far more rad.

It's a good thing.

So I mention this because I thought you should know. These were our first of the new production run, shipped expressly to satiate demand. Demand is a hungry beast however.

That's a moderate thing.

But why mention panic? What's the point? Well, it's because we're all out of them already. Took about 2 hours.

That's a bad thing.

As they (we) say in Minnesota, "So there's that."

Seriously, people say that. It's pretty awesome.

In summary, we care about you, and want you to be happy. The next batch of rims will arrive mid-February.  It will be a bountiful order. I applaud your patience. Your lustful waking dream of Pugsley is very close to reality.

So there's that.

When You’ve Finished Entering Your Information Press Pound

I was on the mtbr site recently and found these pictures of a cool way to protect your Xtracycle Side Loaders while recycling old road tires.   Pretty cool idea.  Devo deserves the love for this.  Send it to him.  Do it now.

Snowed In

I'm no anti-car warrior. Sometimes internal combustion is just what the doctor ordered. Still, this seems like a fitting shot for what's been going on in my town.

The Man hasn't been by to plow the alley yet, so the Subaru is dry-docked. The Pugsley however...
